Pass By: Versailles, Versailles, Yvelines, Ile-de-France

During your trip to Versailles Palace, you will drive through the City of Versailles, born out of the will of Louis the XIVth, the Sun King, in the 17th Century and the capital of the Kingdom of France for over a century, from 1682 to 1789.

Stop At: Palace of Versailles, Place d'Armes, 78000, Versailles France

The chateau and gardens count among the most prestigious monuments of the world’s artistic heritage and are certainly the finest and most complete achievement of 17th-century French art. Former residence of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV, this sumptuous royal palace was home to three of France’s most illustrious Kings for over 100 years. The guided tour of the palace includes the State Apartments of the King and Queen, Royal Chapel, and Hall of Mirrors, a richly decorated gallery that boasts 357 mirrors, french bay windows, and crystal chandeliers.

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes

Stop At: The Hall of Mirrors, Chateau de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France

The Hall of Mirrors is a symbol of the political, economic, and artistic success of France. Take time to learn why from your guide.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Jardins du Chateau de Versailles, Place d'Armes A l'Ouest du Château de Versailles, 78000, Versailles France

Discover the famous gardens à la française ; a 2,000 acre park designed by André le Notre with its magnificent groves, statues, and fountains. Depending on the day and time of the year you join the tour, you will have the opportunity to have a glimpse of the Fountains Show or the Musical Gardens show before returning to Paris.

Duration: 50 minutes

Stop At: Louvre Museum, 99 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris France

Introduction to the masterpieces of the Louvre (Venus of Milo, Victory of Samothrace, Mona Lisa, ...), learn more about the history of the Louvre Palace, a captivating tour, mixing history, anecdotes and art history.

Weenjoyed all the inteesting facts and history the guide shared. It appeared our guide knew far more information than the rest of the local guides and we highly recommend him to all future visitrs

Very organized and very well done. It’s a long day so maybe split it up into two days if you want to see more artwork at the Louvre. For me, it was perfect for the amount of time I had.

This was actually two separate trips with two separate guides. Our early morning visit to Versailles with Nicholas was excellent--we were the first bus there and therefore missed the crowds. Nicholas did a great job of pointing out the special features of each room and even helped us optimize our visit to the gardens. Our afternoon visit to the Louvre was a bit more crowded and spent more time giving us background on the building and pyramid that we could have better used visiting an extra exhibit. We only had time to visit three or four of the most popular pieces of art but, of course, this is a museum that would be impossible to fully explore even if we had a week! If we had more time in Paris, I would recommend doing both trips as 1/2 day trips on two separate mornings!

Great tour of both Versailles and the Louvre - our tour guides Ricardo and Lan provided great history and wonderful tours. Highly recommend this.

Tour guides were fantastic and I learned a lot despite having already been to both venues. Be aware they are two separate tours lopped together. So even though the tour shows being transported in an air conditioned vehicle, that’s only to Versailles. You take a taxi to the Louvre. And even though the tour overview claimed a 2-course lunch would be provided, they said it didn’t come with lunch. I even showed them where it indicated lunch provided, but they just shrugged their shoulders.
